Chapter 73 Encountering Wolves
"Boss, something bad has happened. A pack of wolves has come down not far ahead and are heading towards us. What should we do?"
Liu Neng had just received the money and was feeling very happy when he suddenly heard what another officer said. His face became serious.
Subconsciously, they looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, they saw a group of wolves running towards them.
Liu Neng immediately went to find the Imperial Guards who came with them. Li Wei had just left to help find a midwife and was not there, so he had to look for someone else.
There were about eight guards who came with Li Wei, and including Li Wei, there were nine people in total.
There were six officers in total.
Normally speaking, six people would not be enough to escort so many people, but this time Li Wei and the others were there, so fewer people were arranged.
When the imperial guards heard Liu Neng's words, they drew their swords from their waists, walked out of the crowd and stood in front.
It was not until the wolves approached that they saw that there were about fifteen to twenty adult wolves on the opposite side.
Liu Neng and the few officers with him had no martial arts skills and were frightened when they saw so many wolves. They all hid behind the guards and even retreated several steps.
"Oh no, there are wolves. Dad and Mom, look, there are a lot of wolves over there."
I don’t know who shouted, as their attention was originally on Zhao Sisi.
After hearing the shout, all of them looked towards the wolf pack.
The ladies and young ladies who had promised to help Zhao Sisi and the others before all showed expressions of fear on their faces after hearing that there were wolves.
Jiang Nanyuan also saw the situation over there. She quickly spread the mattress in her hand on the ground, and then she and Lin Zhixue lifted Zhao Sisi onto the mattress.
“Ladies and young ladies, you don’t have to worry about the wolves staying here. Thank you for coming to help me this time. I’ll be there soon until my second aunt is through with this disaster.
If you have any needs in the future, as long as they are not too excessive, we will definitely help you if we can."
There were two ladies and three young ladies who came to help. They were the ladies and young ladies of the Shangshu Mansion.
Normally, he had a close relationship with the Duke's Mansion. This time, they were exiled together. Especially when he heard that Zhao Sisi was about to give birth, he thought that any help he could provide would be helpful.
In fact, there is another point. The most important thing is that they feel that the last time Jiang Nanyuan was able to go into the woods and hunt prey, it was not an accident but a real skill.
This time they came to help not for the little money, but because they thought that if they caught prey again next time, they would keep them in mind.
They were also very greedy and really didn't want to eat those white flour buns anymore.
When the two ladies and three young ladies heard Jiang Nanyuan's words, their nervousness and fear were instantly soothed.
It's also very strange, as if Jiang Nanyuan's words have some magic power. Whenever I hear her say this, I feel at ease for some reason.
"Mom, you guys sit here and don't go anywhere. I'll go check on Wen Jin." Jiang Nanyuan comforted her for a few words, and the lady walked to Lin Zhixue and whispered to her.
These wolves must be dealt with quickly, otherwise Zhao Sisi will not be able to give birth properly.
She originally thought of using poison to kill these wolves, but then she changed her mind and realized that she couldn't expose herself, so she could only go after them.
He strode towards Xiao Yuchen and the others.
"Why are you here again?" Xiao Yuchen felt something was wrong when he saw her coming. His temples were throbbing. What did she want?
Seeing him so defensive, Jiang Nanyuan spread her hands innocently, "Nothing, I came here to find your subordinate for a favor. I wonder if it's convenient for him?"
Jiang Nanyuan said this, looking towards Bai Zhan.
When Bai Zhan met her gaze, his heart instantly hung in his throat. Why did Miss Jiang suddenly look at him?
The teasing by Jiang Nanyuan last night was still fresh in his mind. Now that he saw her looking at him, he instinctively felt that something bad was going to happen.
He took a few steps forward, getting a little closer to them.
I pricked up my ears and tried to listen carefully to what they were saying.
As soon as he got closer, he heard Jiang Nanyuan say that she wanted to borrow him.
What does she want from me?
Xiao Yuchen was also confused about this question.
Jiang Nanyuan noticed their confusion and pointed at the wolf pack with his chin. "Look, do you see those wolves? I'm borrowing him because I want him to deal with them."
After hearing Jiang Nanyuan's words, Bai Zhan's face instantly lost its color.
What had she just said? She actually wanted me to deal with those wolves. Did she overestimate her martial arts skills? Or was she doing this on purpose?
Even if his martial arts skills were very strong, it might be possible for him to avoid these wolves, but it was simply a fantasy for him to deal with them!
"Ms. Jiang, you overestimate me. I can't deal with those wolves alone."
If you want him to die, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush like this?
Bai Zhan thought that he had annoyed Jiang Nanyuan yesterday and she was angry and said this on purpose. He looked at Xiao Yuchen for help.
The decision of whether to go or not is up to Xiao Yuchen.
"You misunderstood. I'm not asking you to deal with the wolves alone. I have a packet of medicine here. I just need you to find an opportunity to scatter it in the air."
Upon hearing that it was just this, Bai Zhan breathed a sigh of relief. He really thought that she wanted him to die.
It's just a matter of spreading some medicine powder over there, which is naturally no problem.
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Xiao Yuchen wink at him, nodded in understanding, and extended his hand to Jiang Nanyuan.
"Miss Jiang, give me the medicine."
Seeing that they agreed, Jiang Nanyuan took out a packet of medicine powder from his sleeve and handed it over.
Then she left and walked towards Zhao Sisi. When she came back, she saw Zhao Sisi lying on the ground with a distorted expression, biting her lips tightly, looking very uncomfortable.
Lin Zhixue and Xu were extremely anxious. If this continued, they didn't know if Zhao Sisi's life would be in danger. If that didn't happen, they would just give up the baby in her belly and save the adult.
Although they both knew that this child might be the only bloodline of the second brother's family, if Zhao Sisi died because of it, they would rather not have this child.
"Yuan'er, I see your second aunt is in great pain, she's in great pain, why don't you go over and take a look at her?
If we can't save the child, that's fine. Saving her life is the most important thing."
When Lin Zhixue and Xu saw Jiang Nanyuan coming over, they pulled her aside and told her their thoughts.
Jiang Nanyuan nodded and walked forward to take a look. She saw that the situation was indeed not good. If the midwife didn't come soon, she was afraid that the child would really be lost.
I'm afraid they will suffocate to death in her stomach.
After waiting for a few more moments, if the midwife still hasn't arrived, she will have to save Zhao Sisi's life first.
Everyone here was worried about Zhao Sisi's situation, and Lin Zhao also took Lin Jianian, Lin Jiahua and Lin Zixuan to go to the wolf pack to help.
Only Jiang Nanfeng and his three brothers and a few officers including Liu Neng hid at the back.
The other people who were exiled together all sent one or two men to help.
After all, this also concerns their lives.
